Tottenham Hotspur host Chelsea at Wembley Stadium in the latest instalment of their long-standing rivalry.There have been a number of classic clashes between these two teams, with Chelsea holding the upper hand for a number of years.
65. Spurs mauled at the Lane – 1997
Christmas came early for Chelsea in this December meeting 21 years ago, as a woeful Spurs side were dealt a crushing 6-1 defeat.Tore Andre Flo opened the scoring for the visitors, but it was quickly cancelled out by Ramon Vega. A Roberto Di Matteo header restored Chelsea’s lead minutes after half-time.Further strikes from Dan Petrescu and Mark Nicholls increased the scoreline and Flo completed his treble to extend the unbeaten run against Spurs to 17 matches.
64. Gallas the unlikely hero – 2006
A second successive Premier League title was within touching distance for Chelsea, but like an uninvited guest to the party, Spurs did their best to try and spoil the occasion.Making the most of a rare start, Shaun Wright-Phillips drilled in a low cross which was finished off by Michael Essien to give Chelsea a 14th minute lead in the lunchtime kick-off.Spurs were deservedly level on the stroke of half-time, when Jermaine Jenas prodded Michael Carrick’s free-kick past Petr Cech.With Michael Dawson and Ledley King unwavering in defence, it looked as if Chelsea would be denied victory, but in stoppage time, Gallas cut in on to his favoured right foot and thundered his shot beyond Paul Robinson.Cue euphoria on the home bench and a five point gap over nearest challengers Manchester United.
63. Eight-goal thriller- 2008
The big screens inside White Hart Lane replayed highlights of Spurs Carling Cup success over Chelsea the previous month and the visitors would be left cursing their luck once again.In total, Chelsea took the lead twice in this match and even led 3-1, thanks to a brilliant performance from Joe Cole, but just like at Wembley, Jonathan Woodgate and Dimitar Berbatov repeated their goalscoring heroics.Two minutes remained and Chelsea must have felt they done enough to leave with three points and a measure of revenge, but Robbie Keane made it 4-4 when he curled a stunning effort beyond Carlo Cudicini.
62. Kane leads the way – 2015
Inspired by Harry Kane, Chelsea were made to pay for some slack play on this New year’s day encounter as they were soundly beaten 5-3.
61. Battle of the Bridge – 2016
The roles had seemingly been reversed heading into this match and also for much of the season. Spurs were in fine form and challenging for the title, while Chelsea had endured an indifferent campaign and parted ways with Jose Mourinho as a result.Knowing only victory would give them a chance of a first league crown since 1961, Spurs started like a team possessed and took a two-goal lead through Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min.Tensions boiled inside the Bridge, a record 12 yellow cards were dished out, as Gary Cahill struck to breath life into the Chelsea fightback, which was completed when Eden Hazard curled his strike first time into the top corner to send Chelsea and Leicester fans into a state of euphoria.
